Collect: LORD of all power and might, who art the author and giver of all good things: graft in our hearts the love of thy name, increase in us true religion, nourish us with all goodness, and of thy great mercy keep us in the same; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

First Reading Deuteronomy 30:9-14

Psalm 25:1-10

Second Reading Colossians 1:1-14 (Susie Smith-Gibbins)

Anthem The Heavens are Telling – Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809)

The Heavens are telling the glory of God, the wonder of his work displays the firmament. To day that is coming speaks it the day, the night that is gone to following night. The Heavens are telling the glory of God, the wonder of his work displays the firmament. In all the lands resounds the word, never unperceived, ever understood. The Heavens are telling the glory of God, the wonder of his work displays the firmament.

The Gospel (The Parable of the Good Samaritan) Luke 10:25-37

LAWYER stood up to test Jesus. ‘Teacher,’ he said, ‘what must I do to inherit eternal life?’ He said to him, ‘What is written in the law? What do you read there?’ He answered, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbour as yourself.’ And he said to him, ‘You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live.’ But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbour?’ Jesus replied, ‘A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan while travelling came near him; and when he saw him, he was moved with pity. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, having poured oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, “Take care of him; and when I come back, I will repay you whatever more you spend.” Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbour to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?’ He said, ‘The one who showed him mercy.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Go and do likewise.’

Sermon The Vicar

Intercessions Jean Darke

Offertory Hymn 268 – Of the glorious body telling (Tune: 202)

Communion Anthem Lord, Let Me Know Mine End – M Greene (c 1695-1755)

Lord, let me know mine end, and the number of my days, that I may be certified how long I have to live. Behold, thou hast made my days as it were a span long: and mine age is ev’n as nothing in respect of thee; and verily every man living is altogether vanity. For man walketh in a vain shadow, and disquieteth himself in vain; he heapeth up riches, and cannot tell who shall gather them. And now, Lord, what is my hope? Truly my hope is even in thee. Hear my prayer, O Lord, and with thine ears consider my calling. Hold not thy peace at my tears. O spare me a little, that I may recover my strength: before I go hence, and be no more seen. (Psalm 39:6-8, 13, 15)

Post Communion Prayer: Lord God, whose Son is the true vine, the source of life, who ever giveth himself that the world may live: may we so receive within ourselves the power of his death and passion that in his cup of salvation we may partake of his glory and also be made perfect in his love; who liveth and reigneth, now and for ever. Amen.
